When the signed Eric Gordon this past offseason, it was a needle mover. Coming to Phoenix for a mere $3.2 million, given the caliber of offensive player he is, was a steal. The Suns had just seen how impressive Gordon could be as he started all five games against them for the Los Angeles Clippers in the First Round of the postseason.
The 2023-24 season began, and with numerous injuries to the Suns’ starting backcourt — Devin Booker’s foot and Bradley Beal’s back — Gordon has had to step in and step up for Phoenix. He found himself in the starting lineup more times than not.
